'It was impossible for the theater nerd in me to say no to this.' Joel Fields explains why he jumped into FosseVerdonFX shortly after wrapping TheAmericans after 6 seasons
By 2012, Fields was a writer-producer with a reputation for problem-solving. He was also quite settled. He and his wife had just purchased their "dream home." But he had also come upon Weisberg's script for. Fields told Landgraf and fellow FX exec Eric Schrier of his affection for the pilot — and when FX committed to ordering the project to series, executives suggested pairing Weisberg with a more experienced producer. Fields' phone began to ring.

What the miniseries didn't have was someone experienced in the TV trickery of making freezing cold Montauk look like Majorca in the summer or ensuring that studio floors were suitable for rigorous dance numbers.
"Sometimes the danger is sitting in a room where you can just bounce from iteration to iteration to iteration," says Fields, whose habit of breaking story on walks earned the nickname "Joel strolls" while working on. Even now, he and Weisberg often debate on the streets of lower Manhattan — without, as he's quick to point out, any note-taking apparatus: "When I started to work with Steven Bochco, he told me not to worry about taking too many notes.
Right now, the Js are writing several projects under their pact with FX Productions and developing another with friend Josh Brand. Fields, keen to make something he can watch with his children, also recently started developing an old script at Disney+. And there remains the distinct possibility of the phone ringing again, with someone suggesting another match.
